JapanOur initial goal for ZOE Japan is to prevent human trafficking by educating churches, schools, and communities about the human trafficking problem in Japan. Prevention through education can help prevent potential tragedy to vulnerable at-risk national/international victims in Japan.
PreventionZOE works alongside other NGOs in Japan to provide first responder help for victims of sexual exploitation. ZOE meets with survivors and connects them with appropriate legal and medical support. The ZOE team also visits and helps at a local children’s shelter.
The ZOE team speaks at different venues such as schools, churches, and clubs, etc. to teach kids and adults about the danger of human trafficking and how to prevent it. Education materials are made available on social media including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and blogs.
ZOE Japan has a hotline number for children to call. Social media and online patrol and consultation for at-risk children is also available through LINE, Twitter, email, or by telephone. Night outreach/prayer walks are made to provide information/consultation for women and young girls on the streets.
 RescueZOE Japan is a member of JNATIP (Japan Network Against Trafficking in Persons). This network includes NGOs, lawyers and academics who collaborate to formulate effective laws to prevent trafficking in persons, provide victim relief, and punish perpetrators. As a JNATIP member, ZOE participates in meetings with the Japanese government on how to end trafficking in Japan.
RestorationZOE has plans to expand our work in Japan to help restore survivors of child trafficking.
EvangelismThe mission of J.O.Y. Club (Jesus, Others, You) is to help the local Japanese church meet others in their community. Through partnering with the local church, J.O.Y. Club uses English classes for neighborhood children as a draw to provide a non-threatening way for individuals to step into a church setting on a regular basis. Many J.O.Y. Club students and their families are stepping into the local Japanese church for the very first time. This is especially exciting when you consider that Japanese Christians represent less than 1% of the population and the average Japanese church congregation is only 12 members strong. By developing strong, caring relationships, J.O.Y. Club teachers love these people into the kingdom while sharing the life changing Word of God.
